General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to:
Hazards created by the use of elevated work platforms which were not
designed, constructed
and/or used in accordance with the acceptable requirements of the American
National Safety
Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks, ASME B56.6-1992.  The
personnel platform and
its use did not meet the design requirements of that standard in the
following area(s):  (1) A
trained operator was not in position to control the rough terrain forklift
or available to operate
the controls.  When the operator was not in the operating position, the
truck wheels were not
blocked.  These conditions existed when an employee was working on a
residential building
from a platform attached to the forks of a rough terrain forklift.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these hazards
is to assure that the design, manufacture and use of all attachments for
Rough Terrain Forklift
Trucks are in accordance with the most current American National Standard,
B56.6, and/or has
the prior approval of the lift truck manufacturer.
